Works for me! Under 10 mins walk from the conference venue too.
The range of prices is useful, as we can presumably decide on the menu
details a bit later in the year when we know how the budget is flowing.

I would hope for a distinctly Scottish menu with appropriate
vegitarian and vegan options.

It looks as if we get the whole venue even if we are not using the
whole capacity. I assume they run a cash bar to keep people lubricated
after the meal...

I think we should book this. Any thoughts from others?
